You might have been pinning your hair all summer with a variety of barrettes or tying it up with old school scrunchies but it's time to channel your inner Blair Waldorf because the hottest fashion and hair trend is headbands. Spotted on the runways of Prada and Simone Rocha, the everyday headband has been taken to new heights, literally. At Prada's Spring 2019 show the silk and satin headbands were dramatically padded and at Simone Rocha headbands have become a staple piece, varying in style over the last few seasons from feathers to crystal and pearl accents.
Off the runways they're just as statement-making and more affordable. Headbands have long been considered the solution to your less than cooperative hair days and a way to dress up your everyday style. They work for a variety of textures and lengths whether your hair is long or short, straight or coily and the Prada show is proof, headbands were worn on top of choppy short hair and short natural curls. Plus they're far more chic and fall weather appropriate than a hat, summer may be long over but we still have a bit of time before we have to bundle up in our hats and winter layers.
Since any old headband won't do, we've rounded up the best of the trend from the plush and padded to the patterned and embellished at every price point. They're just as bold and expressive as your crystal slogan barrettes and if that isn't your thing there are still minimal options.
Skinny headbands with minimal pearl accents are perfect for layering or wearing alone. Double up with this set from Anthropologie or wear it alone like this attention-grabbing Baublebar headband that comes in two colors. Romwe's option is affordable enough to buy in bulk.
